In my neverending quest to hook ridiculous things up to my system, I am
looking for very old, homely, clunky, huge, power inefficient,
retrofuturistic-looking serial terminals.
Besides ebay, which is a little dicey (most people can't test what they're
selling), does anyone know a good place to find old terminals? Has anyone
seen old terminals at Worldcare or maybe at the U of A auctions, or anywhere
else in town or online?
In particular I am looking for the most ridiculous looking thing possible, or,
at very least, some kind of classic.
I was inspired by Colossus: The Forbin Project. I decided that my office
needs to look more like, oh, say, 1977, than it does. I got the Apple //e
serial term working - now I need some blue or amber to balance the green.
